This is still unclear for me.
- remove the package in testing
- fix the package in unstable
- put it back to testing
Why not fix it directly in testing? I always thought, packages in testing are
already tested (for a time). Follwing your desription, it would be better, to
run sid than testing, as the fix is faster in sid, than in testing.
Additionally it is also possible, to miss packages in testing, but do not miss
them in unstable. Sorry, but this seems strange for me somehow.
I will not mourne, I am sure, you have good reasons for this behaviour, I
still do not quite understand it full at the moment.
